During Muslim Saleem’s stay at
Allahabad, he became
friendly with Asif Usmani, Saghir Hussin Siddiqui, Zafar Ehsanul Haq, Nazeer
Ahmad Sami:Dr Abul Lais and Dr Nabi Ahmad. Most of these people are not poets
and writers. But they have sharp understanding of poetry and literature. Of
them, Saghir Siddiqui has settled in
Delhi and
Zafar Esanul Haq to
Delhi
and now Jaipur. Asif Usmani and Nazeer Ahmad Sami are working with Railways.
During my visit to
Allahabad
in December 2010. I had snapped photographs of Asif Usmani and Nazeer Ahmad
Sami and of Saghir Siddiqui and Zafar Ehsanul Huq in
Delhi. I had posted these pictures on
http://khojkhabarnews.com/?p=8559.
They are still there, but due to some problems are not easily visible in search
engines. With a view to removing this difficulty, I am posting it on
urdunewsblog.wordpress.com.
When I (Muslim Saleem) reached
Allahabad to stay there
at 4, Corporation Flats, Khuldabad, I first came into contact with Nazeer Ahmad
Sami and Asif Usman. They introduced me to Fazle Hasnain and thus began the
saga of an unending reciprocal sincerity and understanding. Fazle Hasnain spent
a lot of time with me and guided me with his invaluable pieces of advices. I am
proud that I have such friends as
Fazle Hasnain,
MA Qadeer, Nazeer Ahmad Sami, Asif Usmani,
Sagheer Hussain Siddiqui (who has shifted to
Delhi
and lives there at Batla House) and Zafar Ehsan-ul-Haq (A resident of Fatehpur,
who resided with me for some years at
Allahabad
and is now in Jaipur). I lived at
Allahabad
from 1974 to 1979 (Muslim Saleem- January 3, 2012)
